As Global IT, we have shared details about Google Cloud solutions developed for workloads, mobile applications and web platforms to work in the cloud in the articles we have included in our blog so far. But all these applications have tables at their core where data is recorded and processed. In addition to development processes, Google Cloud can also move commonly used databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server to the cloud with Cloud SQL. In this article, we focus on definitions of concepts that you may need to better understand Cloud SQL. <\/em><\/p>
\n
\n Many solutions and tools such as App Engine, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, virtual machines and many more are offered within Google’s Cloud family of solutions. Many of these tools allow developer teams to focus solely on their development processes using serverless architectures, without thinking about the infrastructures that applications require. While these solutions, which deliver the operational dimension of the business as a managed service, bring agility and efficiency to development processes, today’s modern applications need the same flexibility in databases. <\/p>
\n
\n Today, relational database approaches to relate different database tables and draw meaningful conclusions from these relationships are widely used. Although database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server work successfully on local servers, the way for brands that start using Google services is through Cloud SQL.<\/p>
\n
\n Cloud SQL is positioned as a solution that allows businesses to seamlessly transfer databases that are at the heart of all their digital assets to the cloud and derive meaningful insights from that data through the capabilities of the cloud. Cloud SQL, which is seen as a new approach to the concept of database, brings a new terminology<\/a> in this respect.<\/p>
\n
\n As Google’s oldest and only Premier partner in Turkey, Global IT, in this article, we present a compilation of concepts that will make it easier to understand Google’s Cloud SQL solution. Designed like a glossary, it aims to serve as a resource with key terms for businesses that choose Cloud SQL to transform their business processes and databases. Before moving on to the concepts, you can take a look at this article where we explain what Cloud SQL is, how it works and what advantages it offers. <\/p>

\n Cloud SQL for<\/a> MySQL: MySQL is a powerful multi-threaded, multi-user database management system installed on more than 6 million systems. MySQL is the world’s most popular relational database.<\/p>
\n
\n Cloud SQL for MySQL is a customized version of Google’s Cloud SQL solution for MySQL. Designed to be compatible with MySQL versions 8.0, 5.7 and 5.6, Cloud SQL for MySQL automates database management tasks such as provisioning, patching, replication, and backup. It can also integrate with other Google Cloud tools such as Google Kubernetes Engine, BigQuery, and Cloud Functions. <\/p>
